100 Day Project: Blue Whale

Going big today (literally) with the blue whale! I know so many people will know about blue whales and the facts about them already but did you know these weird whale facts?

• Whales earwax deposits in rings and scientists can use this to determine the age of the whale (like reading the rings on a tree) and can also find out what ocean contaminants that whale was subjected to!

• blue whales are the one of the loudest animals on earth with their clicks registering at around 188 decibels (a sperm whale is louder at 230 decibels!)
